DC 37 Organizing sets lunch time sessions and training for fall

The DC 37 Organizing Department has scheduled fall lunch time information events this fall to strengthen the power of our collective voice and equip members with the tools necessary to move forward together.

At the top of the agenda: voting “NO” on the New York State Constitutional Convention to protect worker rights and safeguard the pensions of members and retirees, and engaging the union’s membership on this and other issues.

In addition, the next general activist training is scheduled for Nov. 2 at DC 37 union headquarters. A second session will be scheduled about two weeks after the first session. To register for the training or for more information, call DC 37 Organizing at (212) 815-1095. 

“Workplace info sessions and activist training are part of an effort to strengthen the union from the grassroots,” said Barbara Terrelonge, director of the DC 37 Organizing Dept. “With more active members, our union will be stronger, whether that involves our involvement in a contract fight, political activities or protecting coworkers in the workplace.”

Come join us and get to know your union. Below is the schedule of events for DC 37 members who work at the locations. Click on the link for a leaflet.
